Marriage Roles Reversed

[vivianann]

Does any body ever wonder what it would be like to wear the wedding dress at your wedding and the female wears the tux, and the woman is the husband and the man is the wife, he wears the dresses and she wears the pants, just wondering.

[Joanne f]

Yes i think that we would all go for that one:thumbsup:

I often think about that and wish it would happen, but with my wife its only a dream.

Lets face it, I don't believe there is one CD'er on this forum, or any other for that matter who has not had this "dream".

For most it will stay just that, a dream, for a lucky few it does become a reality. I for one am lucky to have a SO who is very supportive, and between us we have discussed this, BTBH we have other priorities than spending a fortune on a "whim".

To go for a whole "wedding" would be expensive, I'm sure there are places out there who would hire a dress for a day, a few select friends and hey presto, a "wedding" can be arranged.

Hi Vivianann,

Would like to do it , but alas no 3 is not in the cards. My girl friend an I reveris role now and I think if we ever did get married she would do it. My girl friend is a very beautifull women but like myself when we change role we can look an do the others role. We have gone out that way a couple of times an we have a very nice time . I am one of the lucky ones I have a girl friend that loves me in my female mode. This morning my girl friend woke up sick I had gotton up earlier dressed an made coffee she saw me an said Oh good I need Josephine this morning. I got her the anti-biodic she had gotton the day before helped her with a shower an tucked her in for a I hope will be some rest. If it had been still dark I would have walked the dog dressed too but just a little to lite.

There was a thread here months ago, where there was a "double wedding". They both wore dresses. It wasn't their wedding because they were already married. But they went the whole route with the ceremony and reception.

I've worn a wedding dress, not at a wedding, but it was fantastic.... glowed all day!!

What is more feminine than a wedding dress. Add a couple petticoats. Goodwill sometimes gets the leftovers from bridal shops. Sometimes $600 dress is sold for $99. Plainer dresses go for as little as $19.99. Searched my favorite thrift shops for about a year. Found one in my size and price range. Wore it to the Tri-Ess Halloween party. Country location..trees...grass..cornfield. See avatar.

Who doesn't want to be a bride for at least 1 day? I know that I have thought about it, but even more so on the wedding night!!!!

[Kate Simmons]

I guess most of us have had this thought and of course I would love to be a bride and have that experience. I have a wedding gown and have taken pics in it and I look pretty nice. Still, anything I would ever do would pale in comparison to what greeted me the day of our wedding when this beautiful young woman was coming down the aisle towards me to become my wife. I've never seen a sight as beautiful as that up to this day and probably never will again. It was very special to me and always will be.:happy:

I agree; what I would like best about it would be the wedding night!

I haven't.

Me and my wife had a simple wedding 8 years ago. No dress, no reception. We were talking recently about doing it right at the 10 year mark. We were walking past a bridal shop the other day and she saw a really nice dres and said "That's cute, I want it" to which I replied "Me too"

She shot me a smile and I smiled back. I'd love to be the one wearing the dress but I know she would never go for that. But, she said it was all mine afterwards.

[Debbie new]

That is heaven, i have always wanted to wear a wedding dress and be pampered for a day. At this moment in time i have never worn a wedding dress and would love to one day.

My wife wore a Tux to the prom. We were going to switch clothes for our wedding but we decided that since the ceremony and such were more for the family than for us, we didn't see the wisdom in freaking everyone out.

[Angie G]

I'd love it

[Leah B]

Oh man, I'd sell my firstborn for a chance to be the bride!

[renee99]

My gf actually suggested that we do this. I was the one that refused. WTF? Well, I'd drop dead if my family saw me, at least for now. And she has no family in the US anyway, so she doesn't have anybody's opinions to worry about. Pretty funny though. I pretty much had every CD's fantasy handed to me on a platter and I ran away screaming.

There was a thread here months ago, where there was a "double wedding". They both wore dresses. It wasn't their wedding because they were already married. But they went the whole route with the ceremony and reception.

I guess you missed it, but my wife and I announced on here several months ago that we were having a ceremony where I would be the bride on an upcoming trip to Las Vegas. Someone noted that there had been such a double ceremony in Vegas -- I think just over a year ago, so I don't know if you are talking about that ceremony, or the one we were planning, b/c for a while it looked like Louise and Carin were going to join us!

When Carin and Louise stated they wanted to do the same thing in Vegas, we discussed (on here and via PM's) that we would like to try for sort of a double ceremony: there were to be two separate ceremonies (one for them and one for us, with the other couple being the witnesses for the couple having the ceremony). We were scheduled for the same Vegas chapel, so it was just a mater of timing so that they could be back-to-back. Unfortunately, our schedules just aren't going to allow for this to happen, so we'll be having separate ceremonies on separate dates. (Our's is in June -- yep, my wife says this is special b/c "every girl wants to be a June Bride.") But still, we would rather have done this with Louise and Carin.

At any rate, it ABSOLUTELY IS a dream come true!!! I have always wanted to be the bride, and take my vows as bride and wife to compliment my vows as my wife's husband. My wedding dress came in about 8 weeks ago and is absolutely gorgeous. I think I remember Carin and Louise saying they were going shopping for Carin's soon -- may have already done so.

A few comments: First, since my wife and I are already "officially" married, technically this will only be a commitment ceremony (under Nevada state law), BUT it will be a wedding none-the-less!!! That said, it is STILL a life-long dream come true -- and it was actually my wife's idea!!! Okay, I had dropped hint after hint after hint over the years (subtle as a sledge-hammer -- LOL) that I wanted to be a bride, but I never really thought it would happen. Then, out of the blue, my wife suggests that if I really want to do this, let's do it in Vegas. We found a great Wedding Chapel there with a fantastic staff who is very accepting, understanding, and extremely accommodating!!! They couldn't be nicer!!! Next, I opted for an "extended package" where they will pick me up early and pamper me with a make-up session with a professional make-up artist, professional hair stylist, and, heck, the whole works down to manicure and pedicure if wanted!!! (I think Carin may be doing the same package.)

Anyway, my advice is that if this is something you want, and if your wife is supportive (or gets there one day), let her know how much it would mean to you to be a bride -- and to extend your original vows (made en drab) to include vows from your feminine side.

[Carin]

there is still time left on the clock.

Louise :love: proposed this a couple of months ago - not role reversal, but two brides. So in about 4 weeks we will (re)marry as Carin and Louise in a wedding chapel in Las Vegas. We are not going with formal white. We have already purchased our outfits - at Davids Bridal, and they are gorgeous. I have a full length gold gown, she is going with a gorgeous Burgendy gown. We will both get a full wedding style makeover for the ceremony.

For this four day trip my male side is staying at home. This journey will be exclusively Carin and Louise (no Thelma and Louise jokes please :happy:)

We got married (traditional style) 24 years ago. But what more could a TG girl ask for than a formal committment ceremony and remarriage, celebrating and committing to each other anew in the fullest expression of each others femininity. As you can imagine, this ceremony has much more significance than the dresses we will be wearing.

To answer you questons in advance...:happy:
No you can not borrow her, she is mine and I am hers!:love:
Yes, I am excited beyond belief.
Yes we will post pictures,
We may be able to webcast, if you want to 'attend'.

Since I started composing this I see that Barbara beat me to the punch. She did provide the lead information. Thank you Barbara :hugs:. It is really too bad that we can not 'Double up' on the celebration.
